📢 NEW STUDY: AI has been shown to be effective in identifying & analysing symptoms from psychiatric interviews, which could help speed up assessments & access to care for those who need it most. More 👇 www.psych.ox.ac.uk/news/ai-coul... @medsci.ox.ac.uk @ox.ac.uk @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social

A picture of Dr Dominic Oliver, senior Researcher, with a quote saying:

“Patients tell us that getting help earlier can make a significant difference in their lives. Our findings show that AI can identify those at risk and presents us with an opportunity to reach more people more quickly, making assessments faster, more accessible and more empowering for individuals and their families."

🕰️ What is Temporal Drift? Data that clinical prediction models face when implemented can differ from the data they were trained on, even in the same setting. This can be due to changing patients, treatments or practices The result? The model’s predictions start to go wrong.

Why are so many people with psychosis missed before their first episode? We studied over 1,500 patients to find out whether those missed by early intervention services show different early signs. Here’s what we found. 🧵👇

Why should we care about #calibration in machine learning? Imagine your model says there’s a 90% chance an event will happen – but in reality, that event occurs only 70% of the time. That gap can be costly.
